Atlas Instrumentals

Waves

I've been working on this loop-based piece that I wrote for a dear friend's daughter called Kâinat. 
It turned out more melancholic than I intended, but Kâinat means universe in Turkish so she can take it :)
The melancholy comes from the micrtonality introduced by the slide guitar.

Everything recorded by myself, turned into an in-studio video as well: https://youtu.be/QeZMMrEcnkk

If you liked this piece, you can get backing tracks
for practice or build up purposes at: https://linktr.ee/mumasmusic​ under mumasloops. Would be nice to see what you come up with :)
Peace!

Für Kâinat

All instruments played and recorded at home by me, and I am neither a drummer nor a bassist, so bear with me please :)

F'em All - Demo version

Composed & played & mixed by myself except some bass parts, Lloyd Degler thankfully is the guest artist on that one.
Many thanks to Lloyd, Elias Castegren, David McVicker, and my lovely Lina Dahlman for tips on mixing. 
Also, thanks to David for invaluable ideas on the bass line during the conception of this song some years ago.

Wave In - Demo version

An appendage to the song "Wave In".
Composed, played and recorded by meself.
An extended version with my band at the time can be heard here:

Wave Out - Original demo version

Composed, played and recorded by meself, except the Tarhu played by the one and only Mr. Lloyd Degler.
Loads of love to Lina Dahlman for patiently listening to it and inspiring me to rethink and reshape it.

Ramadan on Planet B

Muma is the musician alter ego of Mehmet Ali Arslan, who delicately replants his Kurdish/Turkish roots in a landscape of rock with a breeze of jazz. Listening between the notes, the curious listener can trace Mehmet’s path through the eclectia of Radiohead, Esbjörn Svensson Trio, The Cinematic Orchestra, A Perfect Circle, Jaga Jazzist and Tool.

Here are some of Muma's demos/skethces/interludes/etc...
